SOC
BLUE SEA is supported by more than 300 containers for connecting Jakarta-Singapore, Surabaya-Singapore, and Semarang-Singapore. Our SOC Team serves and maintains both export and import shipment.
Blue Sea provides Shipper’s Owned Containers (SOC). Using SOC for shipping can be extremely advantageous removing expensive container demurrage costs. You may also realise significant logistics savings through picking up or returning containers hundreds, even thousands of miles from the port.
About SOC
SOC (Shipper’s Own Container) term implies that a cargo container is owned by a consignee.
The main advantage of this mode of transport is the lack of detention and demurrage payments — fees for the exceeded use of the container (return of the container to the port within a time period specified by a shipping line).
After unshipping the container at the port of receipt, the consignee shall have the right to choose its own route for further container transportation (by truck or rail), as the container is the property of the client. After transporting, the client shall have the right to sell the container, or use it as a storage area, etc.
